This early evening TV game show, based on the radio show of the same name that was heard on NBC from July 8, 1952 to January 8, 1952. Meet Your Match was seen on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for two weeks so the TV version had a run of six shows. The reigning champ chose his opponents from the studio audience. The two then competed in a question and answer match with the game ending when one player missed a question. The other player won $25 and chose his or her next opponent. Three-time champions would be asked a bonus question for a $500 bond.
